According to Ali, this data included: “all of her API keys, all of her usernames and passwords, and pretty much everything we’d been talking about so far. Not only did she leak it on the WhatsApp group, but she put it on a publicly available website.”

Her? She? Isn't this a computer? Don’t drink the kool-aid at work, y’all. Especially if you’re supposed to be doing impartial research. Griftin aint ez.

I just learned from Jeopardy that the French call them little trumpets and now I could spend hundreds on paperclips.

They're called trombones in French.

Ok, so we're just actually doing the infinite paperclip machine.
